He was created, in right of his mother (who was the only sisterof the notorious peer), Earl of Bothwell andLord High Admiral of Scotland in 1587. Hebecame an avowed enemy of the king, and Holy-rood was the scene of more than one franticattempt made by him upon the life of James. Oneof these, in 1591, reads like a daring frolic, as re-lated by Sir James Melville, when the earl attackedthe palace at the head of his followers. I was at the Girth Cross. On the 24th July, 1593, Both-well, who had been outlawed, again burst into thepalace with his retainers, and reached the royalapartments.
